I have a client who I moved from POP (onlymyemail) using Windows Live Mail to Office 365 & Office 2016 (or 2019 whatever they are at).
They have a single email account that is setup on 3 different computers which is the only email account used for the business. The Owner, the Assistant, and his Wife all use this email account.
Prior to Office 365 using POP they were able to maintain their own PST's (obviously), and thus all users had their own folder structure, and in my eyes it was a mess.
Now that they are using exchange the main person, the Assistant, is creating her new folder structure and the other two are unfamiliar/unhappy with the way she chooses to handle emails because it reflects across the board now and they want to 'unsync' to be able to structure folders they way each person wants to.
I only see two ways to do this. One is to setup the primary person using exchange and then have two other users setup to POP the exchange account. I foresee issues here because when the Assistant moves emails or deletes them before the other computers can POP them they wont get the emails.
The other way is to setup 2 additional exchange accounts and have the primary email forward a copy to the other two exchange accounts so they can have their own folder structure, but then setup 'send email as' which will probably add another step to their process of sending email.
This business has had 1 single email account and operated this way for over a decade so I'm trying to see if there might be some other solution.
Any ideas?
